Abstract
Systems and methods for automatically acquiring an ultrasound volume to extract a two-dimensional short axis view of a left atrial appendage are provided. The method includes acquiring, by an ultrasound probe, a two-dimensional long axis ultrasound image view of a left atrial appendage. The method includes automatically detecting a first point on a circumflex artery side of the left atrial appendage and a second point on a left atrial ridge side of the left atrial appendage in the two-dimensional long axis ultrasound image view. The method includes acquiring, by the ultrasound probe, an ultrasound volume comprising the left atrial appendage. The method includes automatically extracting from the ultrasound volume an ultrasound image substantially in a plane extending through the first point and the second point. The method includes causing a display system to present the ultrasound image.
